Fordman. For one thing the core guys are signed. Seahawks are going to contenders for the next few years. For another, all playoff teams are going to be paying out the big bucks to their QBs, just the way it is in the NFL.worth $20M? Nope. Will someone give him that? Yup. Is Romo worth his contract? Brees? Flacco? Kap? Cutler? Stafford?
Nope, none of them. But that's the market so that's what QB's are pulling now. Wilson gets $20M and the team will sink back to 3rd in the NFCW at best. You can't hamstring a team with a contract like that unless you are going to hit big in the draft every year. Too many Hawks looking to get paid, just like everyone said they would. Some Seattle fans had delusions that the players were a team and would work together to take less and stay together. That didn't even make it one offseason.
Old dude in NO so maybe, Denver I see that as a yes for sure, Manning will be done and the heir apparent is a mystery at best. chargers? rivers could retire so yes even if he doesn't because they know they'll need someone very soon. Giants yes, SF oh hell yes. Tons of teams that would like him to be the next answer at QB.
Long term investment? What's long term? 4 years? 5 years? We are not talking long term here, we are talking a regular second contract for a young player. I guess it bugs you he uses his legs. I see no danger in resigning him myself. It really doesn't matter if the Seahawks over pay, you get lucky and hit on a QB, you got to hold on to him. Whatever it takes.Looks like logic is making a comeback.
C'mon No Votes!
(Little QBs that use their legs as much as their arms, yeah.... Great longterm investments..... I vote No.)
Wilson is 36-12 in his NFL career
How much money you talking?The Seahawks are 36-12 over his NFL career.
Russell Wilson probably isn't even the fifth most important player on that team and I hope they do tie up that much money in him. It will definitely open up the NFC anyway.

What?
You said you hope the Seahawks tie up that much money. Simple question "what is that much money"?
Longterm to me means 5+.Long term investment? What's long term? 4 years? 5 years? We are not talking long term here, we are talking a regular second contract for a young player.

Everyone has a opinion. Personally watch RW make things happen with his arm, by personally I mean actually being at the game, but even watching on TV it's plain to see RW is .....IDK....special? For sure the best QB the Seahawks ever had and I've been watching from day one. He's like manna from heaven. You like the pocket passers I'm guessing, so I'm sure you love Luck, but who else? Tannelhill, Cam ( no need to mention AR) ....who ? Also wondering how the Seahawks would be better without him IYOLongterm to me means 5+.
I doesn't bug me.
It's just a universal deal for athletes that legs and everything that comes with with them, goes first. Speed loses out longterm to power. Pocket passers last longer than scramblers.
You see no danger, I do. We have different opinions.
A QB who's best attribute is his elisiveness with his feet and legs will never fall into the whatever it takes category, for me. (Big Ben extends plays with his feet, but more so his size.)
20 million? Yeah I'm good with that, not going open anything up for anyone else however.The title of this thread and post I responded to is "Is Russell Wilson worth $20m a year?"
Haven't heard 5 years in any of the rumors, what I hear is 4 years, but no matter. 5 years is not long term for a player getting ready to sign his first contract since the rookie contract. It's not like he's 30 or something. Funny shit SmittyLongterm to me means 5+.

I like a lot of QBs.Everyone has a opinion.

You asked what I considered longterm, I answered.Haven't heard 5 years in any of the rumors, what I hear is 4 years, but no matter. 5 years is not long term for a player getting ready to sign his first contract since the rookie contract. It's not like he's 30 or something. Funny shit Smitty
